Eleanor's adventure into Youth Parliament

Image
Last week DD16 spent the first week of her school holidays at Youth Parliament here in Victoria and she had a wonderful time. Eleanor had no idea what she was in for or what to expect and then at the last minute found out the she would be representing her team Korin Gamadji Institute on her own. After having a little nervy turn she then settled and thought okay I will give it a go. So she needed to present her Bill and a speech to support it which aims for "increased access to health services for small communities" on her own and then had the great support of fellow chamber members to help her debate it. Guess what, she had her Bill successfully passed. Yahoooo. Eleanor also made an Adjournment speech asking for funding to build a high performance purpose built training and playing facility for Netball Victoria to house our Vixens and Victorian Netball League teams. She could not stop talking about this wonderful experience and the incredible character of the other young adul...

Long Time Since

Well is has been some time since I last entered blog land when I looked at the date of my last blog I realised why. A couple of days later one of my brothers passed away and a few months ago our Mother also, so it is still early days of settling affairs, what better way than to stitch my way through it. So I have joined a Stitch-a-long and needed to get my blog going to join in. Many other joyous events have also helped to balance the past couple of years. Eldest daughter and her Fiance brought a block of land on which they hope to build their forever home starting next year. Youngest daughter survived VCE and did really well and is now studying Bachelor of Applied Science and Physiotherapy. As for me I only just survived her VCE and was grateful she was the last one through high school. We added a beautiful kelpie called Brie ( as in cheese ) because she came from a farm in Bega NSW and two mischievous bunnies called Charlotte and Lacey.

Well I had been working along on Stitch Along but just found that I was going through the motions and not really enjoying it, I had no idea why as hand stitching is one of my favourite things. I persevered for another month, but just the same thing, then I started looking longingly at another project, you know the one that calls out to you until you cave in and start it. I kept trying to ignore it "no stay with the stitch along you have always wanted to do one, don't drop out". But alas the call was too strong and I ventured over to the other side and began this other project and the joy returned with each stitch. Then the light switch moment, I was not happy with my background fabrics on other project and the needle turn  and the reverse buttonhole stitch circle just did not sit right with me. So lesson learned, if your fabric, stitches or heart is trying to tell you something, listen you idiot. Hence new background fabrics, stem stitch around circle and buttonhole appl...
